Dr. Dave has changed my life! I found Dr. Daves office online and at the time he offered a free consult if you mentioned you found the office online. So I figured Id give it a try. The wellness aspect is one of the ideals that sent me there. Hes not just a crack your back and come back chiropractor. Its about the whole body. I suffer from migraines and with his unique knowledge of cranial plates and attention to detail he is able to help relieve the pain or get rid of the onset of a migraine altogether. When I started seeing him I could barely bend over to tie my shoes or turn my head to check traffic, but now I have great range of motion and can tie my shoes no problem. After my lower back and hips were aligned I was able to start exercising again. When you are in so much pain just the thought of walking the dogs presents a mental and physical challenge before getting out of the door you know theres a problem. Now I walk the dogs with no pain and much less stress making it a positive and relaxing time out of the house. Dr. Dave is a caring and attentive chiropractor who is ALWAYS available to see me on short notice for migraine issues or when my lower back goes out. The office atmosphere is always welcoming which helps a lot. Customer service is always appreciated. There are also massage therapist on site to help with recovery and muscle relaxation. Thanks Dr. Dave for helping me get my mobility and life back on track.

I started seeing Dr. Dave 2 years ago. I found him on Groupon and so glad I did. Shortly after my first consultation I suffered from an acute sciatica flair-up for the first time ever. Not only did he help me, he explained what was happening with my body and what I could expect from chiropractic treatments. With his help I was able to return to 100% functionality and no pain within 5 weeks or so. Ive been seeing him ever since. Chiropractic has relieved my lower back and neck pain and improved my sleep. Recently I have experienced 2 more sciatica flairs, one small and short term (im convinced because I came to see him right away, he nipped it in the bud) and another longer term acute flair-up caused by a work injury. Not only have the adjustments help me heal and manage my pain, he has walked me thru the L&I process, and made sure I received adequate physical therapy and therapeutic massage. I trust him and recommend him to others. He is a skilled and caring health care provider and a really nice guy. Also Ive had several massages, for relaxation as well as healing therapy and they have all been excellent. The front desk staff are so friendly, greet me by name and ask how I am (as they do to almost every patient) and are always able to reschedule me or work me in on short notice.

I got into a really bad car accident that made it where I couldnt move from my neck down...my doctor didnt do ANYTHING for me but spend 5 minutes with me....so I came to discover life......and they spent 2 hours with me to find out exactly what was wrong with my neck and spine.....after only the 2nd day with David.... I felt soooooo much better....so then I decided (after reading that he could help with headaches) I bright my 8 year old son here to see if he could help......my son had been fighting headaches for over three years and fought with doctors and specialists and Noone could help my son except for David.....after the 1st visit my sons headaches were once a week instead of everyday!!!....I am AMAZED,RELIEVED, AND MOST OF ALL MY SON HAS BEEN RELIEVED OF HIS EVERYDAY HEADACHES that no doctor or specialist could figure out!!!! David is the best and I had never been to a chiropractor before him and am amazed at all the pain he has taken away from me so I can live a normal life with my son!!! And now my son can FINALLY go headache free everyday

Bought a Groupon for my husband for Christmas that included a consultation, adjustment and 1 hr of deep tissue massage. It was supposed to be an enjoyable experience for him. He texted me that it was taking forever, (over an hour in the waiting room) and they were pushing for more visits to make more money off of him. I called while he was still waiting and asked them to only give him the services already paid for and not pressure him into further treatments that we could not afford. The doctor then came out and embarrassed my husband by announcing in front of other people that he needed a financial screening since I had called and said we couldnt afford further treatment. My husband was in more pain after the adjustment and almost didnt go back for the massage. The massage was a little more enjoyable than the rest of the very awkward visit. I think they were only doing the groupon offer to recruit new clients, of which we were not interested. Services rendered, please.

I was afraid to try chiropractic until I met Dr. Dave. I heard so much that it hurt and had fears that I would be in pain and get arthritis and would break my bones. However, Dr. Dave put me at ease and showed me that there are several techniques which could be used. He gained my trust and understood my fears. I was suffering from painful back issues that when I got out of bed I would have such pain I would loose my balance when I stood due to the pain. After a few treatments by back issues and pain had subsided. I dont trust and cant relax with people but that doesnt happen with Dr. Dave. So if you have pain and dont want to be on meds go see Dr. Dave at Discovery Life Chiropractic.

Kari L. I was a big skeptic of Chiropractic when I decided to give it a chance after i ruptured a disc, I was told if i wasnt careful i would rupture more and wasnt able to play golf, ride my horse or do any activities that i was doing prior to my rupture. I told Dr Dave thatd id give him 6 months to prove to me it would work and its been 8 years now and I will not stop seeing him. Im the healthiest I have been in my whole life i do not take prescription drugs for allergies or migraines (i used to get bad ones) i am playing golf, riding my horse doing yard work with no problems. This was the best decision I have ever made. Thanks for everything Dr. Dave!!!!

This chiropractor disregards patient privacy when discussing important information with the patient. For example, he decided to talk with me about my financial history outside in public area. I seen him for about a month and noticed that he was never friendly. I tried but could not build up a good rapport with him. When he comes into the room, he would just look at the computer screen and say hi to me after like a minute with his back turned towards me. Then he would give me about a 1 min adjustment and then move on to the next patient who he does small talk and spend more time with. He seems more into the money than giving his patients good care.
